STYLES IN ADVERTISING.

What a Reliable Brookirn Expert Has to
Say About Them.
The style of advertising has greatly
changed within the past few years, "
said gentleman in charge of the ad
vertising department of one of Brook
lyn's largest dry goods. establishments.
An advertisement to command atten-
ton must be orig nal The public have
tired of such ads as John Smith will
receive his customers at his old stand, ;
or Blank & Blank sell dry goods
cheaper than any other house in town
The present generation is progressive.
and to attract attent on one must be
orig nal. Old fashioned ads are
played ont. In former years. even in
such big houses as Stewards in New
York, the clerk at the button counter
was delegated in his of moments to
write the advert sements for the news
papers. Now al is changed. Every
large business house has It's separate
advert sing department. Some houses
even employ as many as two and three
men TO look after their advertising.
Since the pictorial craze has obtained
such a foothold many firms h ad their
columns with pictures descriptive of the
goods offered for sale. And then
the ad. must be written
so as to attract the eye of the reader.
1f firm has a quantity of underwear
TO sell, it is folly to say so in the first
line. First get your reader interested.
Talk about the North Pole; say that it
is cold in that region and incidentally
ment. on that winter is coming and that
underwear at this season is not an inap-
propriate subject. And then, in a con-
f.dential way, tell the reader that your
firm has many cases of underwear pur-
chased at a bankrupt sale, perheps.

Dean Stanley thus explained why
the term 'blue" WIS originally applied
to Prcsbyterians: The distinct dress
of tho Scotch Presbyterian clergy was
n blue gown and broad blue bonnet.
The Episcopal clergy, on the contrary,
either wore no distinctive dress in pub
ic services, or else wore black gown.
From this arose the contrasting epithets
of the Black Prclacy' and the Blue
Presbyt rian.'
Whatever the teacher is the child is
very soon, in some degree, to become.
If the teacher is n trifier, so is the pu-

ton in the direction of developing the
